Abstract

A load-adjustment device for the internal combustion engine of an automotive vehicle has a control lever (1) which, for instance, displaces a throttle valve and is held by a coupling spring (9) against an intermediate lever (5) which can be swung directly by the accelerator pedal (3). A damping device (11) is so developed that, upon a sudden movement of the intermediate lever (5) in the direction of full load, the control lever (1) follows this movement only with a time lag action so that the automative vehicle is not accelerated with excessive jerk.
